Its disgusting treatment
Interesting point of view - having more time off each year than someone working 5 days a week with 6 weeks holiday is "disgusting treatment?? And how do you figure out that it has to come out of the 17 by law? Every country I know of (which does not include Aus, so I can't comment on there) merely has a legal miminum number off days off per year - and i think in the US it is only 14 in the whole year. If your contract states that those have to be taken at particular times that is normal. Ask any factory worker!
